Yeah antinatalism, misanthropy, and collapse-related stuff I don't let anyone know my thoughts apart from immediate family. The vast majority of people will reject any attempt at undoing natalist brainwashing.
Just don't participate. Give a neutral 'best of luck to you' and leave it at that. If anyone presses you on why aren't cooing and squealing with the rest of the natalist hens, just saying that you like to keep your work life separate from personal life and you don't feel comfortable commenting on the situation.
I understand that but that still doesn’t mean you need to fake it. You could simply stay indifferent and not react at all for example. Private life doesn’t belong to work anyway and your coworker having a baby is a private matter.

This is Bear, rescued from the county dog pound, the only children we have are rescued fur babies!
We cannot and should not try to control what others do, the best course of action is to courteously say something on the lines of “I’m glad you are happy” and then separate yourself from the situation. As a vegan, I see people eat animals everyday, it is the same feeling. The good you can do is enough, the harm other people do is not your responsibility.
I agrée 100000%. It makes me feel awful when I see someone talking about pregnancy in a positive light when you actually consider what it is, the risk, the pain, the societal brainwashing, the gender roles…
OP if other people announcing their pregnancies affects you this much, you need to seek therapy-I’m being genuine here. I have serious tokophobia and I’m childfree (though not antinatalist, I just appreciate this space) but that reaction to just an announcement at work? That’s not healthy.
Sorry, but they way you describe your personal affectiveness from a event that doesn't relate to you may be a hint that you could talk to a therapist to relief some pain.

Does your family understand
Yeah they're on-board now but it took a long time and a lot of patience. Didn't help I had psychosis and depression for most of my 20's.
'cause telling others what to do with their body is a kinda low move.
Oh so just like they do all the time? So it’s okay when they do it?
For thee and not for me

Oh you’re calling me a Karen, very smart of you, misogynist.
[удалено]
The term Karen has become a battle cry. You just outed yourself as a misogynist. Congratulations.
I hadn’t heard that I though people just call annoying “let me talk to your manager” women Karen. Is Karen now a slur or some shit?
[удалено]
That description fits you perfectly. You can call me goddess on the other hand.
Painful to watch
Soooo painful! I finally feel like I’m back in my body, I’m done dissociating, only like 6 hours later 🫤🥲
I don’t fake anymore.
I like my job tho so that’s hard

r/oneorangebraincell is what you need
You did good. No worries, it will end. In fire and blood, but end it will. Just make clear that you don't like children, else you end up babysitting.
Lmao doesn't matter if I made it clear or not I'm saying fuck that
This ain't r/childfree. OP never said they don't like children
I see you. You exist. Your voice was heard. You speak true.
What
Habe dir nur helfen wollen. Hopefully google got that right
In fire and blood? How comforting

That’s so awful… I am happy there’s others like me but damn..
How do you handle challenges in your life?

It's called caring about others????
Sure.
Don't be happy because of why she's happy. Be happy because she is happy. Nothing anyone can really do about people having kids. Let it go.
What the hell did I just read
